Why does this two-way street appear one way to routing software?

1

Part of the rue Antoine-Julien Hénard in Paris (way 4236213) had earlier been tagged oneway:yes, which is no longer correct (if it ever was). I removed the tag, but two routing sites that use OSM data (maps.cloudmade.com and ridewithgps.com) continue to route cars and bikes as if it were still a one-way street. Am I doing something wrong, or are those sites working with an old version of the OSM data? If I am doing something wrong, can you let me know what?

Routing sites typically update their routing data less frequently than their rendered-tiles data. Give them some time.

Thanks! I'm a newbie here, so I appreciate the info. I have found OSM-based cycling maps to be incredibly useful so I feel a responsibility to contribute what I can to the project.

OpenRouteService seems to think it is two way; it also displays the date of the data it is using for routing in the top right if you want to check things like this in future. http://www.openrouteservice.org/index.php?start=2.3895844,48.8427611&end=2.3915667,48.8430779&pref=Shortest&lang=de&noMotorways=false&noTollways=false
